Hi!

I know, that I can't get hardware information over Java itself.

Does anyone know a good API, over which I can get informations about the
system hardware?

Greetings,
Christian.

I though that I answered you question in the other thread for using
Hyperic Sigar. That should work.

The best you can do for sun api's, that I know of, is the
java.util.Properties Class

Example:

I think you should use Java Native Interface
